Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

I've never actually watched the 3rd Pirates movie and I'm sort of glad I didn't until now. The first hour or so of the movie was very boring and in my opinion it only got slightly interesting towards the last half hour of the movie. Not to mention that Captain Jack only appeared at the 30 minute mark when he is basically the title character. I found that the movie was way too over the top with CGI compared to the two previous movies and I felt like the storyline could have overall been better. I'll perhaps watch it again and feel different after seeing it twice but on my first viewing It wasn't great. The only characters that enjoyed watching was Jack, Davy Jones and Barbossa and considering the amount of useless other characters none of them had nearly as much screen time as they deserved. The music score was really good which was one of the reasons I rated this movie 3 stars.

I didn't know what to expect when I started watching this movie, but by the end I quite liked it. No, it isn't a cute family movie at all, it's all based on a true story. I found the storyline quite good and I found the characters and their development alright although I found that towards the end of the movie the characters sort of just changed to fit the ending, but maybe because it's based on a true story and that's just how things that happened across a few years fitted into a less than 2h movie. Either way, I did like it and I found myself educated on the Minamata disease by the end of the movie. I'd recommend it to people that haven't heard of the disease, but I wouldn't want to what it for a second time for at least a decade because it's not the type of film I'd need to see again.
